Welcome to Season Two of "For the Love of Winter," A weekly podcast that explores our cultural love affair with winter sports, the mountains, and of course the people who are shaped and forever changed by their love of winter.

This week, Kendra sits down with George Sladen, a former Sunshine Village seasonal worker whose 2013-2014 winter season completely changed the course of his life. George reflects on trading powerpoint presentations for pow days, meeting his now wife on the mountain, and returning to Sunshine Village 11 years later with their two young children to say “I do” where it all began. From rekindling friendships and reliving memories, George shares the magic of mountain life, how a season abroad shaped his future, and how Sunshine will always be their second home. 

What is it you love about winter? Is it the thrill, the beauty, the stillness? As Canadian’s winter is part of our DNA. The snowy season is something that unites from coast to coast. For The Love of Winter, is a podcast that celebrates Canada’s longest season.
